Dude you're attacking over disfavorable terrain with -2 roll penalty. On top of that Austria has significantly more morale than you do. Also are your mercs even of the latest unit type?

How the f*ck did I lose? :laugh:
Some info about the battle. 2 tuscan armies (24 and 20 regiments of Tuscan troops mixed with mercenaries) vs 18(+7) Austrian regiments. Both sides are military level 9. Does using/mixing mercenaries along with your troops destroys your army's morale and organisation?
His morale is a whole 1.1 above yours, and his general must be amazing to give a +4 shock modifier. That's why you lost, most likely.

I was about losing it, hopefully last day so it didn't screw my ironman.. but still I felt weird losing 160K vs 30K
The first question was obviously rhetorical. The second one (effects of mixing own troops with mercenaries) I'm interest to find an answer. But I have to say that I've never seen such a resolution to a battle when the victor was outnumber 2.5 to 1.
I present you, the worst start ever for England
I wasn't thinking. I should have taken a screen cap of the event but this will do.

I've seen far worse. Mountain terrain absolutely destroys the attacker at the same tech level. 60k defender vs 200k attacker in the mountains gg attackers.
What.

Gotland wants colonies, too.

Republic of the Two Nations, that's what you call to Poland-Lithuania?

I suppose it's no wierder than the "Kingdom of the Two Sicilies" even though there's only one Sicily :huh:
Plus; after checking Wikipedia, the Polish name of "Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów" literally means "Republic of Two Nations".

To be more exact it means "The Commonwelth of both nations". So, yes, it's correct. Till the very end Poland and Lithuania had some separate and some common structures

Well, actually there were two Sicilies indeed: all of southern Italy, in modern era, was known as "Sicily": Italy and Sicily weren't considered as one "geographical construct". The kingdom of Sicily/Trinacria was officially called "Regno di Sicilia ulteriore", ulteriore (farther) as it was after the lighthouse of Reggio Calabria. Naples was, officially, "Regno di Sicilia citeriore", citeriore (hither) as it was the part of sicily which preceded the lighthouse. After the reunification of the crowns, Ferdinando IV of Naples decided to name it "two sicilies" as for centuries the two realms were divided.
I leave you with a popular doggerel from sicily:
fosti quarto e insieme terzo,
Ferdinando or sei primiero:
e se seguita lo scherzo
finirai per esser zero.
You were fourth and third together,
Ferdinand you are now the first:
and if the joke continues
you're going to be zero.
I've fought a battle as Brazil (western, 150 discipline, 50 tradition) against Ming (Chinese, I don't remember the rest) 20 guys vs 150 guys (and I won)
good for you, but I fail to see, what that has to do with the quote (44k Tuscans against 20k Austrians with -2 terrain,-4 shock difference, -1 morale equal discipline in 1511). Ming military is a joke at the time you reach them with a western power, regardless of discipline.
It seems France wants Holland really badly.

I find this translation not very accurate. Poland-Lituania/Commonwealth is almost always called "Pologne-Lituanie".
